Very interesting Major. I'll have to ask a buddy of mine over here in the U.K. Who knows Garry James & Phil Spangenberger if they may have eny info on the Halls replica? As i would love to do a1850's Dragoon impression.
Glad this old thread got resurrected , I know it leans on Henry's
but since the Halls was brought up....
The Halls re-pro was being made by the late Bill Laybourne of Ordnance Park in the mid-80's, I had actually contacted him, as I need some for a film I was doing pre-production for...
I wound up using a original, I had bought , as Mr. Laybourne was unable to meet the time table requirement for the show.
In another thread, I had mentioned this, though it had slipped my mind in resent years...
as an aside , I did not Prop "Ride with Devil" nor work on it...but I know several that did...
and put the Prop master in touch with Uberti USA & Taylor's . I was despondent they use brass framed Remington s.
I understood Ang Lee like the look of them even though, several advised they were unauthentic.
